If you do not have Sendmail installed, install Postfix. The O'Reilly book on Sendmail is close to 1000 pages. Postfix is much simpler to configure. Join the e-mail list, they are a very helpful community. Qmail is another good replacement for Sendmail. Two disadvantages: its log entries are cryptic for normal delivery and it is not included on SuSE and so every time you time install some package that needs mail service, there is an unsatisfied dependency.
